How to avoid cravings

Hello everybody. I hope you enjoyed your holidays as much as I did. I had my entire family over, this is why you haven´t heard from me in a while. A two-and-a-half-year old can keep you quite busy.

Anyway, with  everybody gone I can go back to my normal morning routine: hot lemon, juicing and looking at pretty pictures on Instagram.

I don´t know why, but I love doing that in the morning; inhaling my coffee and looking at inspiring pictures… until this morning.

This morning I was faced with the picture of a plate with a mango and three grapes and the title said: #lunch

LUNCH??????

Are you kidding me???

In my world this doesn´t even qualify as a snack!

Speaking of snack, I started looking at more pictures of this user and found a lot of lovely pictures with “healthy snacks” to “avoid afternoon cravings”.

Within a nano second, this is what came to my mind:

1. Obviously you have cravings, all you eat is fruit and soy milk…
2. Shit! I forgot to prepare my goji berries for work
3. Ballet. I really don´t miss ballet. Ballet was that time of my live where I was surrounded by girls with eating disorders who considered an apple as actual lunch. How the hell are you supposed to train 30 hours a week with only apples and Weetabix in your stomach? And you can´t even imagine that psychological pressure that comes with “just” eating an apple.
4. Boy, do I love butter and cream. (the salty butter, very important detail)
5. Speaking of eating disorders, how healthy can it be to starve your body?
6. Boy, do I get cranky if I don´t get my food on time…
7. Dear instagramers, if you keep doing this, in 10 years you´ll look haggard, probably have fructose intolerance and start to feel your kidney drying up like prunes.
8.  I think I´ll have pizza for lunch…

Anyway, I am a big fan of healthy meals, superfoods and anything that does me good.

But like everything in life, you need to find the perfect equilibrium. It´s not called a balanced diet for nothing.

So to everybody out there, your body will tell you what it need anyway. Just learn to listen to it and you´ll be able to keep it as healthy as it can be.

But this is just bullshit!

So stop craving and start eating!

PLEASE!!!!!
